Question #1 ( criteria A, C, E)
Given the following data
Pi=2500 psia A=1000 acres
T=180 F =20%
Swi=25% h=10 ft and =0.712
Calculate initial gas in place and recovery factor for the following
cases and compare and discuss the results
A. Volumetric dry gas reservoir with an abandonment pressure of Pa=500 psia
B. Full water drive with Sgr=0.35 and Ev=1.0
C. Full water drive with Sgr=0.35 and Ev=0.6
D. Partial water drive with an abandonment pressure of 1600 psia, Sgr=0.35 and Ev=1.0
E. Partial water drive with an abandonment pressure of 1600 psia, Sgr=0.35 and Ev=0.6

Question #2 ( criteria A, C, E)
The production data for a gas field are given below
P/z (psia) Gp (MMM SCF)
6553 0.393
6468 1.642
6393 3.226
6329 4.260
6246 5.504
6136 7.538
6080 8.749
. Assuming a volumetric behavior calculate the following:

a) Determine the initial gas in place

b) What will be the recovery factor at a p/z of 800 psia?
c) The field is to be used as a gas storage reservoir into which gas is injected during summer months
and produced during the peak demand months of the winter. What is the minimum p/z value that
the reservoir needs to be brought back up to if a supply of 50 MMM SCF of gas is required from
the abondonmant p/z is 800 psia?

Question #3 ( criteria A)
A gas producing formation has uniform thickness of 32 ft, a porosity of 0.19 and a connate water saturation
of 0.26. The gas deviation factor is 0.83 at the initial reservoir pressure of 4450 psia and reservoir
temperature of 175oF. The reservoir happens to be consists of several isolated fault blocks.
a) Calculate the initial in-place gas in one of the blocks whose area is 1420 acre foot of the bulk
reservoir rock.
b) How many years will it take a well to deplete by 50% a block of a 640-acre at a rate of 3 MM
SCF/day?
c) If the reservoir is under an active water drive so that the decline in reservoir pressure is negligible,
and a the production of 40.5 MMM SCF of gas is obtained from the block of 1420 acres until it is
fully invaded by the water, what is the residual gas saturation in that block?

Question #4 ( criteria A, E)

The following production, reservoir and fluid data are available from the Bierwang field, Germany.
